This pic demonstrates the clear faces when I opened up a model in Blitz3D. This model was a quickie I made from scratch in Blender.

And just for reference this is what it looks like in Blender.

Many thanks

------------------

Select your object, hit tab to enter edit mode, then hit a to select all of the faces (if they aren't already). Then hit F9 to go into the Editing menu, then it should be in the second sub-window titled "Mesh", there should be a button there called "Double Sided". Un-click that, and it will let you see the faces now that they're disappeared. Then I think you can do something like Ctrl-N, and it will recalculate all of the faces in the model to face outwards. Confirm the box, and make sure that your faces are all visible now.

It talks about this problem a little bit in this tutorial.

I think you can also flip those normals one at a time with an option in the specials menu (w-key).

I hope that helps!

In Christ,
clint

It's a shape I made quick, I wanted to test it in Blitz, so I made some parts of it smooth and some of it sharp to kinda work on my modelling skills and to see if smooth parts were the problem. Why do you ask?
